Granted
The Board granted an initial 10 percent rating for bilateral colorblindness, effective from the veteran's November 2, 2001 service connection date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's visual status did not warrant a compensable rating under DC 6066 as his corrective vision was at worst 20/40 in both eyes. The change to Diagnostic Code 6099-6011 resulted in a compensable rating for the Veteran.
